Draft @ FBGBF ’010. Pours hazy deep gold with copper core and off white head to go along with a little bit of spotty lacing. The aroma is faint with just a sense of malts and little else gong on. The taste is kind of refreshing with citrus hops tartness moving into sugary maltiness. I’m not sure what this is but I’m not sure it’s a pale ale.

22oz bottle, shared with friends during my 2012 spring break in Siesta Key. Thin white head. Bubbles on side of glass. Half hazy orange/amber color. Some lace. Pretty malty... tastes either English-style, or not fresh (no date found on bottle). Light sweet taste. I feel like this would be much better on tap

Draft @ Coaster’s Pub. Pours a light amber with a small puffy white head. Mildly hoppy aroma. Not a whole lot of hoppiness in the flavor, less than expected for an APA, with too much doughy sweetness. Not bad but kind of off-style.

Nothing overly offensive. I would say its more like a bitter traditional pale. Definitely falls flat if going for a traditional "American" pale ale. Aroma very dead. With the maltiness comes the hop bitterness which is the only attribute of the hop displayed. Harsher bitterness. I'd like to see more life to it. Some personality in the aroma. Gosh darn it this is an APA! Instead it smells like its been brewed in a sink. Tastualy(it's a word) I'd like to see there be a friendship between hops and malts with the hops being the better friend and a more pleasant bitterness. It was cold and I have wanted to try them my last couple visits to cocoa. But this local doesn't come close to what's available from cigar city or sweetwater or terrapin or etc etc etc so it's time to deliver if support is desired. I think they can do it. And maybe a slight redo on the labels. But start with the beer. We want you to nail this! I'll see u next year and desire improvement!
